When did your job go from making sure my employer doesn't make me do ridiculously dangerous things to making it harder to do my job efficiently. Seriously, I'd like to go back in time and punch some numb-nutted overzealous pencil pushing douchetool in the dick as to prevent his breeding and this structure change.
For example;
At work we have docks for containers being loaded on aircraft. They're list big steel grates with caster wheels all over so you sorta slide the containers around. They are less than a foot and a half off the ground, you should be able to step down to the ground from such a distance, right?
OSHA doesn't think so. Now I have to walk to the other side of the dock, down ONE ****ING STAIR, around the dock under the plane to the other side to discharge a container from a dolly. This is a really huge pain in the dick if I'm doing it myself, which is often the case. I can only push heavier containers about 3/4 on the way onto the dock and then I have to pull on them from the dock. So this is two trips times 4 possible containers per train of dollies. SUPER, ****ING, RIDICULOUS.
OSHA has also recently demanded that no pallets lean against walls, that it takes two people to move an empty pallet with no pallet jack, tilting and sliding heavy objects like a normal person is no longer good enough find someone else to help you.
Does OSHA demand anything that makes your life suck?
